Re: Canon 80D refurb on sale now

i would not call it 'sealed' but 'weather resistant' - it is just a closed foam gasket around things, nothing short of a underwater enclosure will guarantee.

nothing wrong w/ plastic bag w/ end of lens sticking out (hold it down when not shooting), everything else in bag - clear bags work better, hard to use ovf/buttons if black bag !!!

Yes, it would be nice to have everything sealed up. Although my Pentax K-5 has that feature and I haven't had to take advantage of it yet.

Given the 80D is sealed, I'd expect Canon to offer a sealed kit lens with it as an option, like the Panasonic G85 and its 12-60 kit lens.

There's been a few times when I wish I had the sealing on my Rebel. I still went out shooting in the rain and everything was fine, but good to have the peace of mind.
